Training Log - Monday & Tuesday

With a little more than a week to the RKC, I've developed an inflamed big toe joint. I woke up Saturday with an ache in my bunion and by night, it was swollen and painful. On Sunday I discovered that I could only wear one pair of shoes to church. I iced my foot three times Sunday. By Monday, the swelling was reduced, but not gone. I attempted my training but had to abort and do the following:

I see I was supposed to do swings. If I had a KB at home, I would definitely do those. The foot is still tender, but it is MUCH better. I'm thinking that tomorrow it will be back to normal. What causes these weird physical events. I don't remember bumping my toe or anything. I didn't wear new shoes or strange shoes. I've been wearing the same flats and Keens to work and the same Diesels for training. Nothing out of the ordinary. I don't even remember the last time my bunion bothered me let alone swelled up.

Oh well! Chalk it up to the strange happenings in my life. It is what it is!

It never fails...things like this just happen. I was supposed to attend the cert in October of last year but I came down with a sinus infection that caused severe dizziness. I am knocking on wood that nothing like that happens before the cert next weekend. Good luck with getting back into your training. I had to take some time off here and there because of a surgery but hopefully I am back on track now. Can't wait to meet you next weekend! Steph

That is great! You mentioned that he changed your diet and you are close to your goal - keep up the great work. I too struggle with this. I didn't have an issue until about 6 years ago. I will have to test with the 16KG too unless I miraculously lose 15-20 pounds by Friday :)
